Whatever way, its still bad for Russia
1. If its accident, thats high incompetence during an active war
2. If it was hit by Ukraine with all her missile defence system, that will be more shameful
Putin overestimated what his military can do
They kept feeding his ego blowing news thinking he wont be mad enough to actually start an unnecessary war
reason he is purging the FSB now

Russia has gone to war with Georgia and now Ukraine. If Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were not part of NATO, the mad man would have invaded them as well. The expansionist tendencies of Russia was why NATO was created Now the paranoid maniac is crying about NATO expanding as if it was USA that sent the hunger that scattered Warsaw pact If Putin was the president of USSR, he would have invaded any member that wants to pull out Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were part of USSR cos Red army have already occupied them in 1940 Czechoslovakia was even forced back to Warsaw Pact in 1968 Truth is, no person with clear eyes will want to be allies with Russia |

Foreign Affairs › Finland's Pro-nato Former PM Said He Was “giving Up Hope' Of Joining The Bloc” by sapientia(op): 6:00pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
Finland's pro-NATO former PM said he was 'giving up hope' of joining the bloc, but now Putin has done the job for him Finland's former prime minister said he was giving up on his hope that Finland would join NATO, but Russian President Vladimir Putin achieved it by invading Ukraine.
Alexander Stubb, who was prime minister between 2014 and 2015, told Insider in a phone interview on Thursday that he had been an "advocate of Finnish NATO membership for the better part of 30 years."
But his views did not get majority support due to reasons like Finland's history with neutrality and the fear of retaliation from Russian.
That changed when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
'Grateful' to Putin
Stubb said the idea of joining NATO did not have majority support in Finland before the invasion, but "all of this changed pretty much overnight on the 24th of February when Putin and Russia attacked Ukraine.""Putin has only himself to thank, you know. I should probably be grateful to Putin, as a strong advocate of Finnish NATO membership," he said. "I was giving up hope."
"But everything changed on the 24th of February and, and Putin is to be thanked for it."
Stubb said that being motivated by the invasion of Ukraine was "brutal a way to join NATO," but that he believes that joining the alliance will increase Finland's security.
Putin 'has made Russia weak again'
Stubb said that Russia's decision to invade Ukraine was motivated by Putin's trying to restore Soviet glory and weaken Western alliances like NATO and the European Union — both of which have stood by Ukraine in the war.
Putin has framed the invasion as a response to NATO's possible eastward expansion as well as the false belief that Ukraine is not a real country, but part of Russian history and culture.
"Putin wanted to prevent Finland and Sweden from joining NATO. And now because of his actions, they will," Stubb said. Sweden is also considering joining the military alliance.
"So in his sort of quest to unify Russia, and make Russia great again, he has made Russia weak again, and will go down in history as one of the biggest failures of Russian leadership," Stubb added.
Finland is close to joining NATO
Prime Minister Sanna Marin said Wednesday that Finland would decide whether it will pursue membership "within weeks, not within months."
Stubb said the invasion meant Finland had to contemplate its location as Russia's neighbor with a long, 800-mile border between them.
Stubb said he thought the ultimate argument in favor of joining NATO was that it would bolster the country's security.
He said people also had the sense that "we never want to be left alone again, as we were in World War II." Finland was at the time invaded by the Soviet Union and forced to give up some of its territory.
Finland has traditionally kept a policy of neutrality and staying out of military alliances, but Stubb said that kind of stance can no longer work as the fight against Russia now involves energy and the economy.
”Neutrality, you know, sounds like a nice [idea]. But there are moments in life when idealism meets reality. And this is one of those moments," he said.
Stubb said he didn't think Finnish people and politicians were panicking in wanting to join NATO, but that they were motivated by what he called "rational fear."
"I think the logical conclusion is that if Putin slaughters his Slavic brothers, sisters, and cousins in Ukraine, then there's nothing stopping him from doing that in Finland as well," he said.
Russia has threatened Finland with retaliation if it joins NATO, but Stubb said the country is well prepared for any attack. https://news.yahoo.com/finlands-pro-nato-former-pm-120749522.htmlhttps://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/08/politics/finland-sweden-nato-membership/index.html |

pansophist: If Nato does not exist in the first place, there would be no need for this crisis in the first place. Let me put it another way. If Nato adheres to its promise of not expanding an inch eastward, then there would be no point for this. Don't forget Nato was created because of Russia, so Russia sees it as an aggressor.
You don't protect yourself at the expense of others. Then all of you will not be safe. If Finland and Sweden thinks protecting themselves means being in Nato, then they made it worse. Was it NATO that scattered Warsaw Pact? So you can't tell NATO to disband NATO is what have kept Europe safe so far from themselves and Russia |

Russia are seriously fighting back but those countries don't know that they are being sacrificed as pawn
Their citizens are the ones being murdered and their territory being destroyed
They should continue So it's better for them to wait till Putin invades them? The only reason Russia have not invaded some former USSR is because they are members of NATO |

[b]And in the year of 1962, U.S. spy satellites discover that Cuba has allowed the Soviet Union to build nuclear missile bases on the island. [/b]In response, U.S president John Kennedy demands the Soviet weapons be removed and orders a naval quarantine of Cuba, igniting a thirteen-day standoff. With the threat of nuclear war on the horizon, the United States negotiates with the USSR via back channels. As the crisis nears its third week, Kennedy secretly agrees to withdraw U.S. nuclear missiles from Turkey within a few months if the Soviet Union withdraws its missiles from Cuba. Kennedy also pledges not to invade Cuba. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev accepts the deal and announces that he will order the missiles removed. The following July, Kennedy prohibits U.S. nationals from traveling to Cuba. USA have nuclear weapons in Turkey under NATO sharing arrangement It was never situated in secrecy On what basis was Russia already building nuclear silos in Cuba when they are in security tension with USA? On what military arrangement is that? You would have compared it if Russia discovered that USA is secretly building nuclear silos near to their borders |
